As a new system panel popped up, announcing that Su Lingxi had survived for 7 hours in the lowest world of the punishment ground, she couldn't contain her excitement. "What rewards?!" she exclaimed eagerly.
The system quickly responded with another panel, stating, "Rewards: Reviving the Host and a Complete Elemental Mastery." Su Lingxi's heart raced with anticipation. "Complete Elemental Mastery?!" she repeated, her curiosity piqued.
In response to her query, the system explained further, "The host will have complete control over the element the host picked. Having complete control over an element will grant the host endless possibilities with that element. Skills related to that element will also be removed. As long as the host imagines it and the element is capable of it, it will happen."
Su Lingxi's excitement reached a new height. "I pick Chaos Element!" she declared without hesitation. However, her excitement turned to disappointment when the system replied that she must master all elements first to master the Chaos Element.
Despite the setback, Su Lingxi remained determined. "Then I'll do it!" she exclaimed, her resolve unwavering. With the promise of such incredible power within her grasp, she knew she would stop at nothing to achieve mastery over all the elements and unlock the limitless potential of the Chaos Element. The journey ahead would be challenging, but Su Lingxi was ready to embrace it with everything she had.
Su Lingxi pondered her options carefully, considering the unique properties of each available element. "The elements I can use are Chaos Element, Creation Element, Light, and Divinity Element," she mused aloud. "But why do Light and Divinity have their own element? What should I pick?"
Her thoughts lingered on the potential of each element, weighing the possibilities they offered. "Can the Creation Element truly create anything?" she wondered aloud. Seeking clarification, Su Lingxi asked the system, and a new panel promptly appeared, stating, "The Host is right, but it requires other elements."
Upon reading the system's response, Su Lingxi felt a surge of determination. "I'll pick complete mastery over the Creation Element then," she declared with newfound certainty. With her decision made, she knew that mastering the Creation Element would grant her unparalleled abilities to shape and mold the world around her according to her will.
Emboldened by her choice, Su Lingxi braced herself for the challenges and adventures that lay ahead on her journey to unlock the full potential of the Creation Element. With each step forward, she moved closer to harnessing the power of creation itself, ready to shape her destiny and leave her mark on the world.
After reading the system's confirmation, Su Lingxi's excitement bubbled over. "The host picked complete mastery of the Creation Element," she murmured, her heart pounding with anticipation. As the system proceeded with the next steps, removing her existing techniques for the Creation Element and connecting its pool to the Chaos Element, Su Lingxi felt a surge of energy coursing through her veins.
"Done," the system announced. "The process is now completed. The host has now complete mastery over the Creation Element."
With a sense of exhilaration, Su Lingxi couldn't wait to test her newfound power. Closing her eyes, she focused her thoughts, channeling the essence of creation within her. As she opened her eyes, a faint glow surrounded her fingertips, and with a simple gesture, she conjured a small, shimmering orb of light.
A smile spread across Su Lingxi's face as she marveled at the manifestation of her abilities. With complete mastery over the Creation Element, she knew that endless possibilities lay before her. From shaping the world around her to bringing her imagination to life, there was no limit to what she could achieve.
Filled with excitement and determination, Su Lingxi looked ahead to the adventures that awaited her, eager to explore the boundless potential of her newfound power. With the Creation Element at her command, she was ready to carve her own path and leave her mark on the world.
As the new system panel popped up, Su Lingxi's excitement soared. "The host has leveled up 15 times," it announced. With eager anticipation, she accessed her character panel to see the changes:

Su Lingxi's curiosity piqued at the mention of the system fragment, but before she could dwell on it further, a new system panel appeared, announcing her imminent return.
"The host will now be transported back."
With a mixture of excitement and anticipation, Su Lingxi braced herself for the journey ahead. She knew that with her newfound power and the rewards she had received, she was better equipped than ever to face whatever challenges awaited her.
As she felt the familiar sensation of being transported, Su Lingxi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. With each passing moment, she grew more eager to embark on the next chapter of her journey, ready to test her abilities and discover the secrets that lay ahead.
As the world around her shifted and changed, Su Lingxi embraced the unknown, confident in her newfound strength and determined to make the most of every opportunity that came her way. With a sense of purpose driving her forward, she eagerly awaited the adventures that awaited her in the world beyond.
As Su Lingxi opened her eyes after being transported back, she found herself greeted by the sight of endless beautiful plains stretching out before her. Towering mountains loomed in the distance to the north and west, while a lush forest beckoned from the east. To the south lay a quaint village, nestled amidst the serene landscape.
Filled with excitement for her new adventure, Su Lingxi wasted no time and started to walk towards the village. As she journeyed, she couldn't help but take in the picturesque scenery around her, marveling at the natural beauty of her surroundings.
"What I should do now is have some money to buy new clothes," Su Lingxi mused to herself. "Because I look like a beggar. I am in a sense, but still."
With determination in her heart, Su Lingxi pressed on towards the village, eager to begin her quest for new opportunities, friendships, and experiences in this unfamiliar yet promising world.
As Su Lingxi walked towards the village, her thoughts turned inward, contemplating the need for a plan before diving into action. "Hmm, I need to have a plan before I do things," she mused to herself. "I don't really know the power scaling of this world. If my power is beyond the power ceiling of this world, I'll be in danger."
Memories of her past resurfaced, stirring a mix of emotions within her. "Ever since I was a child, I'd get bullied because my mana was sealed," she recalled bitterly. "In my village, I'd get ridiculed because I couldn't use magic."
Anger simmered beneath the surface as Su Lingxi reflected on the injustices she had faced. "Well, since it's already done and they are all dead anyways, there is no point in thinking about it," she declared, pushing aside the memories of her past.
With a determined resolve, Su Lingxi refocused her thoughts on the present moment. As she approached the village, she knew that she needed to tread carefully and cautiously navigate the unfamiliar terrain of this new world. With a plan forming in her mind, she prepared herself for whatever challenges lay ahead, determined to carve out a new path for herself and leave the shadows of her past behind.
After some time, Su Lingxi reached the village. As she walked through the streets, she noticed the villagers glaring at her. "Is it because of my hair?" she wondered, recalling how it had also caught Aurelious's attention when they first met. "I wonder why that is."
Lost in thought, Su Lingxi's attention was drawn to a large sign that read "Adventurer's Guild." Intrigued, she decided to enter the most beautiful building in the village.
The interior of the Adventurer's Guild was even more impressive than the exterior, filled with adventurers of all kinds warriors, mages, and rogues chatting and discussing their latest quests. Su Lingxi felt a surge of excitement. This place might be the perfect opportunity for her to gather information, earn some money, and possibly find new allies.
She approached the reception desk, where a stern-looking woman stood, busy with paperwork. "Hello," Su Lingxi began, trying to sound confident despite the stares she continued to receive. "I'm new here and interested in joining the guild."
The woman looked up, briefly surprised by Su Lingxi's appearance, but quickly regained her professional demeanor. "Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild," she said. "If you're interested in joining, you'll need to register and take a basic assessment to determine your rank and abilities. Are you ready to proceed?"
Su Lingxi nodded, feeling a mix of anticipation and determination. "Yes, I'm ready."
"Very well," the woman replied, handing Su Lingxi a form to fill out. "Once you've completed this, we'll arrange for your assessment."
As Su Lingxi filled out the form, she couldn't help but feel that this was the beginning of a new chapter. With her newfound powers and a fresh start in this village, she was ready to face whatever challenges came her way.
"This form has nothing noteworthy," Su Lingxi thought as she filled it out, noting the basic questions it asked. "I'll check the Mage job and pick the Light Element and the Divinity Element. Based on what the Princess did, it looks like Divinity is rare. So, I guess Light is even rarer. It will give me attention and the same level of danger."
After finishing the form, Su Lingxi handed it to the receptionist. The woman scanned the form, her eyes widening as she read Su Lingxi's chosen elements. Without a word, she grabbed Su Lingxi's arm and hurriedly dragged her up the stairs to the second floor, straight to the room of the Adventurer's Guild head.
Confused but intrigued, Su Lingxi followed without resistance. The receptionist knocked on a large wooden door and entered after a brief acknowledgment from within. Inside, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence sat behind a desk cluttered with papers and magical artifacts.
"Guildmaster, this is Su Lingxi," the receptionist said, handing him the form. "She registered as a Mage with Light and Divinity elements."
The guildmaster looked up from the form, his eyes narrowing in curiosity and surprise. "Light and Divinity?" he repeated, as if weighing the implications. "These elements are exceedingly rare, especially in combination. Su Lingxi, you must be quite extraordinary."
Su Lingxi nodded, feeling a mixture of pride and apprehension. "I hope to be a valuable member of the guild," she said, trying to project confidence.
The guildmaster leaned back in his chair, studying her for a moment before speaking. "Very well. We will conduct a more thorough assessment of your abilities. Given your rare elements, it's crucial we understand the extent of your power and how best to utilize it."
He motioned to an assistant standing by the door. "Prepare the testing room," he ordered. "Su Lingxi, follow him. We'll begin your assessment shortly."
As she followed the assistant to the testing room, Su Lingxi's mind raced with possibilities. This could be her chance to prove herself and secure a place in the guild, despite the potential dangers that her rare elements might attract. With determination and anticipation, she prepared herself for the challenges ahead.
In the testing room, Su Lingxi and the receptionist waited for the Adventurer's Guild master to arrive. Curiosity got the better of Su Lingxi, and she turned to the receptionist. "Who is the Guild master?" she asked.
The receptionist straightened up and gave a respectful bow. "Right, I apologize for my late introduction. My name is Laura L. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Su Lingxi."
"Nice to meet you, too, Laura," Su Lingxi replied with a smile, feeling a bit more at ease.
Before they could continue their conversation, the door opened, and the guild master entered the room. He was accompanied by several experienced adventurers, each carrying various magical instruments and equipment.
"Thank you for waiting," the guild master said, addressing Su Lingxi with a nod. "I am Guild Master Roderick. We will begin your assessment now to gauge your abilities."
Roderick gestured for Su Lingxi to step forward into the center of the room, where a large, intricate magic circle was inscribed on the floor. "This circle will help us measure your magical output and control. Please demonstrate your mastery of the Light and Divinity elements."
Su Lingxi took a deep breath and stepped into the circle, feeling the magical energy resonating beneath her feet. She closed her eyes and focused, drawing upon her newfound mastery of the Creation Element to enhance her control over Light and Divinity.
With a graceful movement, she summoned a sphere of radiant light in her hand, its brilliance filling the room. She then extended her other hand, conjuring a shimmering aura of divine energy that enveloped her, exuding an aura of protection and power.
The guild members watched in awe as Su Lingxi effortlessly manipulated the elements, showcasing her unique abilities. The instruments around the room hummed and glowed, recording the intensity and purity
"Can you release more of your elements, Ms. Su Lingxi? We need to see the limit of your Divinity and Light Element pool," Guild Master Roderick requested.
Su Lingxi nodded, focusing her energy and putting more effort into releasing her two types of elements. As she increased her output, the room began to tremble. She had only released about 5 percent of her elemental pool, but the intensity was already overwhelming.
The walls shook, and the air seemed to vibrate with raw power, shocking everyone present. The instruments used to measure her abilities were glowing brightly, some even crackling with excess energy. The adventurers and guild members who had gathered to observe were visibly astonished.
"What's happening?" one of the adventurers muttered, eyes wide with disbelief.
Meanwhile, those with the Mana Essence skill within the guild felt the surge of immense power and began storming the assessment room, eager to see the source of such an extraordinary display. The sheer magnitude of the elemental energy being released was unlike anything they had ever encountered.
From a distant vantage point, a certain someone with the Mana Essence skill observed the scene unfolding in the village. Through their heightened perception, they saw a thick concentration of elemental energy enveloping a small area, pinpointing the source to the Adventurer's Guild.
Back in the assessment room, Guild Master Roderick's expression shifted from awe to concern. "That's enough, Ms. Su Lingxi!" he called out urgently. "You can stop now!"
Su Lingxi gradually reined in her power, the trembling of the room subsiding as she reduced her elemental output. She looked around, slightly breathless but composed, and noted the shocked expressions on the faces of the onlookers.
Roderick stepped forward, his tone a mix of admiration and seriousness. "Ms. Su Lingxi, your abilities are indeed exceptional. However, the sheer magnitude of your power is... unprecedented. We will need to take special measures to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you."
Laura, who had been standing nearby, looked at Su Lingxi with a mix of respect and curiosity. "I think it's clear that you possess extraordinary potential. The guild will support you, but we must also be cautious."
Su Lingxi nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Thank you. I'll do my best to control and refine my abilities."
As the crowd of curious adventurers and guild members gathered outside the room, Guild Master Roderick addressed them, reassuring everyone of the situation's control. Meanwhile, the figure observing from afar made a mental note to investigate further, intrigued by the unprecedented display of elemental mastery in the village.
